All the images I had attached were down for quite some time, but finally the gallery is back up and running again (although because the links have changed the images still won't be visible in this thread) - but here is the new link to see all the pics from start to finish (well almost finished):
http://www.manxgallery.org/gallery/album95?page=1 Oh yeah, here is a link to a movie of the first run on the day of fire up (dial up users beware) - I will get some clearer vids/sound some time soon. Just click on the movie camera icon thingy. http://www.manxgallery.org/gallery/album06/MOV00060 Last edited by Dasdubber; October 12th 2005 at 07:32. Reason: adding info re. video

I have entered a few shows lately and picked up a number of trophies which is a bonus. The intention was never to build a show car (it gets driven often - not a daily driver but each weekend it gets a thrashing), but the awards mean a lot considering I have done the majority of the work (especially the award for best paint on the weekend just past - not bad considering it was my first full respray - done in my old mans garage).
Cheers Alan

I've been having heaps of fun giving the beetle a good thrashing on most weekends. On long runs it has been running hot, however this could be a combination of mixture and timing. I have decided to add an external cooler though for some piece of mind. The fan will be switched so once the temp gets to a certain range, I can flick it on/off manually (could have run a thermostat/bypass but for now this will suffice).
   Hopefully over the next few days the plumbing will be done then I can get the engine back in to see if it makes a difference! I am glad I made the rear apron removable! Cheers Alan

Just a quick update pic at a show on the weekend. Picked up another few awards which was cool, but most satisfaction is from the compliments from people on the street - certainly lots of fun to drive! Stayed a lot cooler with the cooler and fan going (max 210F whereas before it was getting up to 240F).
 Obviously I had finished the cooler install before the run:
